What the study found

Who was studied 257,700 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0644 lower (95% confidence interval 0.045-0.084); p = 1 × 10−10.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 11% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p21.31 — between genes, 0.6 kb from QRICH1.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Cognitive aspects of educational attainment. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Cognitive aspects of educational attainment. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Cognitive aspects of educational attainment. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

What conditions is rs11718982 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Educational Attainment. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs11718982 mean I will get this?

No. Common variants like this one move a probability slightly and, on their own, rarely decide anything about one person. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis, and health decisions should be made with a clinician who can see your whole picture.

Where does the information about rs11718982 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:33414549. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
